commit 2cc6a528882d0e0ccbc1bca5f95b8c963cedac54 upstream.

When number of synth fields is more than SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX,
parse_action_params() should return -EINVAL.

<title>tracing/hist: Fix out-of-bound write on 'action_data.var_ref_idx'</title>

commit 82470f7d9044842618c847a7166de2b7458157a7 upstream.

When generate a synthetic event with many params and then create a trace
action for it [1], kernel panic happened [2].

It is because that in trace_action_create() 'data-&gt;n_params' is up to
SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX (current value is 64), and array 'data-&gt;var_ref_idx'
keeps indices into array 'hist_data-&gt;var_refs' for each synthetic event
param, but the length of 'data-&gt;var_ref_idx' is TRACING_MAP_VARS_MAX
(current value is 16), so out-of-bound write happened when 'data-&gt;n_params'
more than 16. In this case, 'data-&gt;match_data.event' is overwritten and
eventually cause the panic.

To solve the issue, adjust the length of 'data-&gt;var_ref_idx' to be
SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX and add sanity checks to avoid out-of-bound write.

commit 82470f7d9044842618c847a7166de2b7458157a7 upstream.

When generate a synthetic event with many params and then create a trace
action for it [1], kernel panic happened [2].

It is because that in trace_action_create() 'data-&gt;n_params' is up to
SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX (current value is 64), and array 'data-&gt;var_ref_idx'
keeps indices into array 'hist_data-&gt;var_refs' for each synthetic event
param, but the length of 'data-&gt;var_ref_idx' is TRACING_MAP_VARS_MAX
(current value is 16), so out-of-bound write happened when 'data-&gt;n_params'
more than 16. In this case, 'data-&gt;match_data.event' is overwritten and
eventually cause the panic.

To solve the issue, adjust the length of 'data-&gt;var_ref_idx' to be
SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX and add sanity checks to avoid out-of-bound write.

[ Upstream commit 608c6ed3337850c767ab0dd6c583477922233e29 ]

When input some constructed invalid 'trigger' command, command info
in 'error_log' are lost [1].

The root cause is that there is a path that event_hist_trigger_parse()
is recursely called once and 'last_cmd' which save origin command is
cleared, then later calling of hist_err() will no longer record origin
command info:

  event_hist_trigger_parse() {
    last_cmd_set()  // &lt;1&gt; 'last_cmd' save origin command here at first
    create_actions() {
      onmatch_create() {
        action_create() {
          trace_action_create() {
            trace_action_create_field_var() {
              create_field_var_hist() {
                event_hist_trigger_parse() {  // &lt;2&gt; recursely called once
                  hist_err_clear()  // &lt;3&gt; 'last_cmd' is cleared here
                }
                hist_err()  // &lt;4&gt; No longer find origin command!!!

Since 'glob' is empty string while running into the recurse call, we
can trickly check it and bypass the call of hist_err_clear() to solve it.

<title>tracing: Fix race where histograms can be called before the event</title>

commit 94eedf3dded5 ("tracing: Fix race where eprobes can be called before
the event") fixed an issue where if an event is soft disabled, and the
trigger is being added, there's a small window where the event sees that
there's a trigger but does not see that it requires reading the event yet,
and then calls the trigger with the record == NULL.

This could be solved with adding memory barriers in the hot path, or to
make sure that all the triggers requiring a record check for NULL. The
latter was chosen.

Commit 94eedf3dded5 set the eprobe trigger handle to check for NULL, but
the same needs to be done with histograms.

<title>tracing/hist: Call hist functions directly via a switch statement</title>

<id>86087383ec0a7ac2bcc3284e13e0e9966f7e3bfa</id>

Due to retpolines, indirect calls are much more expensive than direct
calls. The histograms have a select set of functions it uses for the
histograms, instead of using function pointers to call them, create a
hist_fn_call() function that uses a switch statement to call the histogram
functions directly. This gives a 13% speedup to the histogram logic.

Using the histogram benchmark:

Before:

 # event histogram
 #
 # trigger info: hist:keys=delta:vals=hitcount:sort=delta:size=2048 if delta &gt; 0 [active]
 #

{ delta:        129 } hitcount:       2213
{ delta:        130 } hitcount:     285965
{ delta:        131 } hitcount:    1146545

{ delta:        149 } hitcount:      58993
{ delta:        150 } hitcount:      40228

The delta above is in nanoseconds. It brings the fastest time down from
129ns to 113ns, and the peak from 141ns to 126ns.

<title>tracing/histograms: Simplify create_hist_fields()</title>

When I look into implements of create_hist_fields(), I think there can be
following two simplifications:
  1. If something wrong happened in parse_var_defs(), free_var_defs() would
     have been called in it, so no need goto free again after calling it;
  2. After calling create_key_fields(), regardless of the value of 'ret', it
     then always runs into 'out: ', so the judge of 'ret' is redundant.

<title>tracing/histograms: Fix memory leak problem</title>

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 46bbe5c671e06f070428b9be142cc4ee5cedebac.

As commit 46bbe5c671e0 ("tracing: fix double free") said, the
"double free" problem reported by clang static analyzer is:
  &gt; In parse_var_defs() if there is a problem allocating
  &gt; var_defs.expr, the earlier var_defs.name is freed.
  &gt; This free is duplicated by free_var_defs() which frees
  &gt; the rest of the list.

However, if there is a problem allocating N-th var_defs.expr:
  + in parse_var_defs(), the freed 'earlier var_defs.name' is
    actually the N-th var_defs.name;
  + then in free_var_defs(), the names from 0th to (N-1)-th are freed;

                        IF ALLOCATING PROBLEM HAPPENED HERE!!! -+
                                                                 \
                                                                  |
          0th           1th                 (N-1)-th      N-th    V
          +-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+-----------
var_defs: | name | expr | name | expr | ... | name | expr | name | ///
          +-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+-----------

These two frees don't act on same name, so there was no "double free"
problem before. Conversely, after that commit, we get a "memory leak"
problem because the above "N-th var_defs.name" is not freed.

If enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK and inject a fault at where the N-th
var_defs.expr allocated, then execute on shell like:
  $ echo 'hist:key=call_site:val=$v1,$v2:v1=bytes_req,v2=bytes_alloc' &gt; \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

Then kmemleak reports:

The "char []" string form declares a single variable. It is better
than "char *" which creates two variables in the final assembly.

<title>tracing: Fix potential double free in create_var_ref()</title>

In create_var_ref(), init_var_ref() is called to initialize the fields
of variable ref_field, which is allocated in the previous function call
to create_hist_field(). Function init_var_ref() allocates the
corresponding fields such as ref_field-&gt;system, but frees these fields
when the function encounters an error. The caller later calls
destroy_hist_field() to conduct error handling, which frees the fields
and the variable itself. This results in double free of the fields which
are already freed in the previous function.

Fix this by storing NULL to the corresponding fields when they are freed
in init_var_ref().
